The obsolete pesticide and livestock/equine medication collection and disposal program is free to participate in.

Farmers and other end users of the target products are encouraged to bring in any agricultural or turf pesticide and/or livestock and equine medications (but no needles/sharps) into one of the designated ag-retail collection locations during the September 20-30, 2016 collection period where a licensed waste hazardous waste hauler will safely manage the products and send them for environmentally responsible disposal via high temperature incineration.

The obsolete collection program is funded by the plant science industry and members of the Canadian Animal Health Institute. The obsolete collection program is typically delivered in each region of the country every three years.

The last time the obsolete collection program was delivered in Ontario in 2013 where approx. 120,000 kgs of obsolete pesticide were collected.

To date, CropLife Canada/CleanFARMS have collected over 500,000 kgs of obsolete pesticide since the program was first delivered in 1998. 2016 marks the third program time that livestock/equine medications will be collected as part of the CleanFARMS program in Ontario.
